Space Walk

Someone brought up "Space Walk" again. For those newer fans here its an
album that came out in 1984 comprised of tracks from existing Tomita
albums were given new outer space related names. So some questions came up.

John Breslin and Ben Ward get into this album far more than my site's
quick mention- so for refrence
http://www.isaotomita.net/tomita/recordings/space.html

First off I'd presume that Tomita himself must have prepared the names
and descriptive text as the style seems to exactly match his other space
themed titles and narratives. Does anyone see something to the contrary.
I'd say the proof would be in something like Sydney and other non-RCA
USA material.

Does anyone have a CD catalog number? That would prove there was a CD. I
can't remember one. What about Europe? Did it get released there? I
don't think it did.

As an aside I do remember my thrill then dissapointment when I first
saw the LP in a shop. Fortunately I read the back and since I had all of
Tomita's U.S. LPs was able to "check off" that I had each track. The
only relief was that I caught the nature of the contents before I bought
it. While he did do the concert albums with some new material afterwards
and Nasca Fantasy , who would imagine that I'd be like 12 years older
and in Japan before I next bought a new Tomita classical synth album.
Lots of visits to the CD shops between then!

I can't beleive there isn't a complete registry of CD's, in the same
way that there is for books (ISBN) or magazines.

Actually and interestingly the Nasu Fantasy site mentions the CD # and
not the LP
RCA RCCD-113

As for registries, I'm not sure the labels would like that, it makes it
harder to hide funny business
